Rafael Nadal moved effortlessly to within two wins of emulating Bjorn Borg’s mark of three successive French Open titles when he mercilessly dismissed fellow Spaniard and close friend Carlos Moya.

Double defending champion Nadal took his career Roland Garros record to 19 wins in 19 matches with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 victory which put him into a semi-final showdown with Serbian dangerman Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic continued Serbia’s French Open surge on Wednesday when he defeated Igor Andreev of Russia in straight sets 6-3 6-3 6-3, to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final at Roland Garros.
